Notes

    • Don’t overmix the cornbread batter. It’s okay if it’s a little lumpy as long as the dry ingredients are well incorporated.

    • If your leftover chili is thick, you can add a splash of broth or water before layering so it stays moist while baking.

    • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little more shredded cheese on top before baking.
